To solve the equation "10 times blank equals 5," you can represent "blank" as a variable, let's say ( x ). The equation becomes ( 10x = 5 ). To find ( x ), divide both sides by 10, resulting in ( x = \frac{5}{10} ), which simplifies to ( x = 0.5 ). Thus, "blank" equals 0.5.
As usual when solving equations, you need to "isolate" the variable, in this case, the variable "x". 4x means 4 times x; if you divide both sides of the equation (the left side and the right side) by 4, you will have achieved this.
